<p>They are all in very good condition and mostly punk/rock. The 2 &#8216;All&#8217; CDs were American promo&#8217;s so have a hole through the barcode.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://maft.co.uk/stuff/cds/a-f/images/20122f.jpg" rel="lightbox[227]"><img class="alignleft" title="End This World by Free For All" src="http://maft.co.uk/stuff/cds/a-f/images/20122f.jpg" alt="" width="127" height="125" /></a>Music has played a massive part in my life &#8211; since I was first introduced to Metallica and Megadeth by my older brother, <a href="http://twitter.com/natmorley" target="_blank">Nat</a>, I have bought and listened to countless albums. While I was at uni I built up an awesome punk-rock vinyl collection but in a possibly silly move I sold it all a few years back when we were seriously strapped for cash. However, I kept my CD&#8217;s and, although occasionally sell a few that no longer get listened to, I still have just short of 900 physical CD&#8217;s in my possession. There are clearly storage issues here &#8211; while it&#8217;s not a huge collection, it certainly isn&#8217;t small&#8230;<span id="more-227"></span></p>
<p>Recently I&#8217;ve bought a few MP3 albums via iTunes, Amazon and Play &#8211; ones for which I simply couldn&#8217;t get a physical CD (eg <a href="http://maft.co.uk/content/musicdetails.php?set=g-l&amp;details=stuff/cds/g-l/details/21703.html" target="_blank">&#8220;It&#8217;s A Life&#8221; by de Heideroosjes</a> and <a href="http://maft.co.uk/content/musicdetails.php?set=g-l&amp;details=stuff/cds/g-l/details/20601.html" target="_blank">&#8220;Live in SoHo&#8221; by Linkin Park</a>) or where the digital version was ridiculously cheap (<a href="http://maft.co.uk/content/musicdetails.php?set=m-r&amp;details=stuff/cds/m-r/details/22112.html" target="_blank">&#8220;Forget and Not Slow Down&#8221; by Relient K</a> &#8211; $3.99 [£2.60]!!)</p>
<p>So, here is my dilemma: There are a few albums I want to buy but physical storage is an issue. I like to have something physical to hold, I like to read the booklet / liner notes, I like to have something I can re-rip to MP3 should my hard drive decide to pack up. Hence I like to own a physical CD. On the flip side, a digital download requires no extra physical storage space (although I would need to back up these files), they are available straight away (no need to wait for Royal Mail) and are generally slightly cheaper. And therein lies my problem &#8211; they are only <em>slightly</em> cheaper; if at all! Sometimes it is cheaper to get the physical CD! We&#8217;re talking pence here, though, not pounds. For example, the new <a href="http://www.paramore.net/">Paramore</a> album &#8220;Brand New Eyes&#8221; (which is on <a href="Paramore – brand new eyes: http://open.spotify.com/album/3CaQTJU2Cpx7GXTgenmb2r" target="_blank">Spotify</a>) and <a href="http://www.afireinside.net/" target="_blank">AFI</a> album &#8220;Crash Love&#8221; are both around £8 for digital download or physical CD. What should I do?! Do I take up more space to physically store a CD but then get the added bonus of having the liner notes to read or do I save space and download at the sacrifice of not physically owning anything? So, tell me, What Would Jesus Do?!</p>
